Out-of-control players in the world of Detective Conan

"..."

Amuro Tooru's pupils contracted sharply upon seeing the person's appearance, and his fists clenched involuntarily.

If it weren't for the current situation, Amuro Tooru would have already punched the person in front of him in the face.

"Shuichi Akai, why are you here!"

Akai Shu looked into Amuro Tooru's eyes and smiled helplessly before saying:

"If letting you punch me would make you feel better, I can accept it."

"You guy!"

Amuro Tooru gritted his teeth and finally couldn't help but rush forward, raising his fist as if to attack.

However, just as the fist was about to land on Akai Shuichi's face, Kuroda Hyōe said in a deep voice:

"enough!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Amuro Tooru's fist stopped just two fingers' distance from Shuichi Akai's face.

Amuro Tooru took a deep breath, then looked at Kuroda Heibei with a gloomy expression.

"Why are people from the FBI and CIA here?"

"If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, I will consider reporting it to someone higher up."

Kuroda Hyoue pressed his forehead in annoyance.

"Reporting to a higher level is against the rules."

"To be honest, the best-case scenario is that there are only CIA and FBI personnel in this office right now."

Amuro Tooru frowned slightly.

"Best-case scenario? What do you mean?"

Let me explain this matter.

A white-haired man of considerable age suddenly spoke up beside Shuichi Akai.

“My name is James Black, and the blonde woman next to me is named Judy Sterling.”

"Of course, we all come from the FBI."

James first introduced his team members, and then slowly began to speak.

“During this period, we are completely withdrawing the undercover agents we have sent into the organization, and our mission is to stay here long-term until the mission is completed.”

"Of course, all of this is the result of discussions between our two sides."

Upon hearing this, Amuro Tooru spoke up, clearly puzzled.

"Evacuation? Why evacuate the undercover agents? Is there another mission?"

The undercover agent's withdrawal was tantamount to completely destroying the FBI's operation against that organization.

So what is their mission?

James smiled and stared intently into Amuro Tooru's eyes.

"Why, I think you should know, it's that artificial intelligence."

Amuro Tooru was taken aback when he heard what James said.

That's right.

Judging from the artificial intelligence that Qi Ming possesses, there is no information that Qi Ming cannot obtain if he wants to.

It's safe to say that sending spies into that organization now would be tantamount to suicide.

And if their mission is related to artificial intelligence... that makes sense.

That artificial intelligence uses methods beyond the reach of ordinary people, and its level of intelligence is also incredibly high.

If only we could have it in our hands...

However, thinking of this, Amuro Tooru asked in confusion:

"How exactly did you obtain this intelligence?"

The secret that the artificial intelligence belonged to Qi Ming should only be known to the original members of the organization, or is there actually someone else among the remaining people...?

As Amuro Tooru was thinking this, he suddenly turned his head sharply, his eyes fixed fiercely on Mizunashi Rena.

"I was the one who told them."

Rena Mizunashi met Amuro Tooru's fierce gaze with a calm and fearless expression.

Amuro Tooru gave Mizunashi Rena a cold glare.

As expected, whether it's the FBI or CAI, they're all cut from the same cloth.

"Compared to that organization, the higher-ups clearly have a much stronger interest in artificial intelligence."

"Of course, their real focus is not just on the artificial intelligence itself, but on the owner behind it—Madra, or Qi Ming himself."

Rena Mizunashi explained calmly.

But she also sighed inwardly.

Ultimately, all actions against that organization were driven by self-interest.

Now that greater interests have emerged, the higher-ups are able to abandon their long-standing plans without hesitation.

"So, given the current situation, is obtaining artificial intelligence technology from Qi Ming a much higher priority than thoroughly investigating that organization?"

Amuro Tooru frowned and pressed for an answer.

"Yes."

Kuroda Hyōe then interjected.

"That's why we called you here. We've formed a special task force to stop investigating the organization and instead conduct a targeted investigation into Qi Ming."

Kuroda paused.

"However, I think your more important task right now is... to find out Qi Ming's strength."

Kuroda Hyōe still doesn't know how the people he sent were killed.

Most of the wounds on his team members were knife wounds, which were clearly inflicted by others.

At that time, Qi Ming was disguised as a woman inside the cocoon and was having fun, so it was clear that he had no chance of coming out to commit a crime.

Or do you have accomplices?

Kuroda Hyōe has now abandoned his speculation that Qi Ming was a Chinese spy sent into the organization.

No country would allow someone with such technology to roam freely.

What is his true identity...?

"Then I look forward to a pleasant collaboration during this period."

Shuichi Akai smiled and extended his hand to Tooru Amuro.

However, Amuro Tooru didn't even glance at it and walked out of the room with a stern face.

I had just stepped out of the room when the phone rang.

"Hey?"

"Mr. Furuya, there is something I need to report to you."

Kazami Yuya's voice rang in Amuro Tooru's ear.

"During this period of time, I have investigated and found out the 10 properties owned by Qi Ming. And combined with the child you mentioned named Ai Haibara, it is almost certain that he is currently living normally in the Western-style mansion at 4-24 Beika-cho."
